We can't thank God enough for the continued miracles and gifts this Hoilday season!
Jimmy continues to shine bright the true meaning for the season. He had a wonderful Christmas, getting the opportunity to open gifts on his own (pulling almost all the wrapping off by himself), singing Christmas songs and even eating Christmas cookies. He thanks all the friends and families for the Christmas cards and cant wait for everyone to celebrate with him soon.
While having dinner Christmas eve (stuffing and gravy), Jimmy fed himself a few bites, slowly moving his arm up to his mouth. He also grabbed his orange juice (with some help) and lifted it to his lips. He is starting to preform small takes and helps assist the nurses when moving him to and from his wheelchair. He communicates more with the nursing staff, letting them know how he feels and what he wants, by nodding and whispering words. Still working on strengthening his arms and legs, but will soon start water therapy in a heated pool to build those muscles. His speech is still improving every day and he is working on using his vocal cords, but whispers many words and a few sentences. Jimmy really enjoys laughing and always has the biggest smile on his face when you walk into his room. The Courage Center has a computer room and we have shown Jimmy his Facebook messages from friends and family. He is able to read and loves looking at pictures and watching videos.
We could not ask for a better Christmas present than the gift of life and sharing it with our loved ones. Soon enough we will all be together, celebrating the amazing miracles God has given us all.
Thank you for all the prayers, love and support for Jimmy!
God bless you during this Holiday season!
